Process

We are committed to providing a process that is free from stress or confusion from end to end, including booking and preparation.

Booking

There's nothing we hate hearing about more than wedding entertainers who put pressure on potential clients who are still making up their minds. Our perspective: we want you to feel nothing but pumped when moving forward with Empire State Soul. We will never pressure you to move forward before you've completely made the determination that we are the best fit for your vision.

Planning

It's more than simply our performances that set Empire State Soul apart. Years of experience and hundreds of performances have yielded a refined, confusion-free advancement process that guarantees an unforgettable night of music. And when things happen on the fly, we’ll improvise right along with you guys to keep things seamless.

"...Booking Empire State Soul was truly the best decision we made when planning our wedding. Every step of the way the band had our best interests in mind. Sean was professional, responsive, and trustworthy from our very first interaction with him. Art helped us navigate some tricky questions regarding stage set up and electrical requirements, even when the planner had no idea how to help. They both helped guide us in making a musical plan for the night that included music for all the age groups attending the wedding. They thought of everything, from song transitions, to when my father should speak, to how to make sure the night went smoothly with tricky family members. I truly felt like I had my own personal wedding planner with Empire State Soul. The actual performance at our wedding was truly the stuff of legend. The band was incredible. As a musician myself, I was picky about choosing a band and I couldn't have been happier with my choice. They were professional, energetic, incredible musicians, and amazing dancers! They had our whole crowd dancing the entire night. Six months after our wedding we are still hearing about how amazing Empire State Soul was! You will never, ever regret booking this band!!..."
